REG Windpower is proposing a wind farm north-east of Treorchy.

The site is located next to the Mynydd Maerdy wind farm which is currently under construction.

The proposed wind farm consists of three turbines each measuring up to 146.5m to the tip of the blades and we submitted a planning application to Rhondda Cynon Taf Council in June 2013.

Before then, we carried out a range of environmental and technical studies to make sure this is a suitable place to generate renewable electricity. We are also very interested in local people’s opinions and held a number of events to enable residents to see in more detail what we are proposing and to ask any questions.

If the wind farm is built, we will set up a Community Fund to benefit good causes in the local area and we would love to hear people’s suggestions for how this money could be spent.

We will keep this website updated as the project progresses and you can let us know what you think , or ask us any questions, through this site.

Burnthouse Farm

Burnthouse Farm Wind Farm comprises of three wind turbines located outside Turves, Cambridgeshire. The turbines measure 100m to the tip of the blades, each with a generating capacity of 2MW. Construction work started in January 2013 and the wind farm began generating safe, clean, renewable electricity in June 2013. A Community Fund has been established with the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation, with £24,000 available each year over the lifetime of the project to support good causes local to the wind farm.

We have established a partnership with Creagh Concrete, one of Northern Ireland’s largest private companies, to build a wind farm at Brackagh Quarry outside Draperstown in County Londonderry. REG will own two-thirds of the project. Planning permission was granted for the three turbine site in April 2011 and we look forward to building our first wind farm in Northern Ireland as soon as possible. We will post updates as the construction phase develops.

French Farm Extension

We submitted a planning application to Peterborough City Council in June 2013 for this project. Planning permission has already been granted for two turbines outside Thorney. We now hope to add a further four. The council’s planning committee voted in favour of the proposal to generate more safe, clean, renewable electricity from the site. Unfortunately the Government blocked this democratic decision and the scheme will be judged afresh by a Planning Inspector.

Goonhilly Downs

Goonhilly Wind Farm, on the Lizard in Cornwall, was built in 1993 and is one of the UK’s oldest operational sites. In 2010 we completed a project to replace the original 14 machines with 6 newer models, significantly increasing the amount of safe clean electricity being generated.

Goonhilly Extension

Goonhilly Wind Farm is one of the oldest wind farms in the UK, generating clean energy from the Lizard in Cornwall since 1993.

In 2010 REG Windpower completed a project to replace the 14 older turbines with six newer turbines, doubling the installed capacity of the site.

We are now hoping to apply for planning permission to extend Goonhilly Wind Farm with two turbines. This will enable us to generate more safe, clean renewable energy from the site, as well increase our current community benefit contributions by up to £20,000 per year to support good causes in the TR12 area.

Hay Close

The proposed site at Hay Close Farm is located between Low Braithwaite and Calthwaite in Cumbria.

M48

We have now submitted a planning application for two turbines between the M4 and M48 in South Gloucestershire.

The proposed wind farm is located to the south of Ingst and would generate, on average, between 12.3 million and 13.8 million kWh (units) of renewable electricity per year, sufficient to meet the needs of 2,800 to 3,100 homes*.

REG Windpower has granted Bristol Energy Cooperative (BEC) an exclusive option to the buy the wind farm, if planning permission is granted. There will be an opportunity to invest in the co-op via a share offer with those living locally given preference.

Whenever we develop a new project we always look to ensure the community benefits from hosting wind turbines. Not only do we always aim to engage local contractors and expertise on our projects, but we also commit to establishing a Community Fund.

We would like to work closely with local residents and groups in South Gloucestershire to ensure that the funds are made available to meet local projects, and we warmly welcome any suggestions you would like to make for the fund.

We are offering to pay between £14,400 and £20,800 per year – worth more than £500,000 over the wind farm’s expected lifetime – into the fund. Should Bristol Energy Cooperative take up their option to buy the wind farm, they would honour this commitment too.

We believe it’s important that local people make the decisions on which projects and initiatives are supported by the fund. If we build the wind farm we would look to recruit a panel of residents to determine how the money is spent.

We are still very interested to hear what local people think about the proposed wind farm. You can give your views, ask a question or suggest a project or initiative that the Community Fund could support through this website.

REG Windpower

Our onshore wind business was among the UK’s original renewable energy trailblazers, starting life as the Cornwall Light and Power Company back in 1989.

The company was formed to develop and build one of the country’s first onshore wind farms at Goonhilly on the Lizard in Cornwall.

REG acquired the business in 2005 and in 2010 changed the name to REG Windpower to better reflect its nationwide activity.

We now operate a growing portfolio of sites ranging in size from single turbine sites to six turbine wind farms. We also manage wind farms on behalf of our strategic partner BlackRock.

Our rigorous site selection process is designed to create the right scheme in the right location – generating much-needed renewable electricity while also respecting the local environment.

REG Windpower is an extremely active developer with a significant number of applications lodged in the planning system awaiting determination. By successfully winning planning consent and progressing through construction, utilising our in-house expertise at each step, we can deliver the maximum value for shareholders.
